[Emergency Notification]

Subject: Ozuma's missing

URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The following is an automated message.

Nature of Emergency: Newcomers, and no sign of Ozuma. Possible mental manipulation.

We've got confirmed newcomers in the altar room, and they're reporting that Ozuma isn't there. They're also reporting seeing memories that aren't their own.

I think we've got Queenly shenanigans in play. Can we get a strike team to the Altar Room, in case we're going to get a follow up visit by shadows?

[ Nothing quite like getting uprooted from sleep by your cellphone suddenly blaring the usual alert unique to an emergency notification.

Sans almost considers just covering his head with a pillow and let it be somebody else's problem.

But he's pretty sure if it's a big enough deal to use the Red Button, he'll wanna know what's up. Cue one skeletal hand fumbling for his cellphone as a lump groans discontentedly.

Ozzy's gone? Since it's Colin, he assumes he's already checked the avatar's usual haunts. Great. ]

hallucinations? she needs to find some new material.

[ He's not sure about 'memories' until he can confirm it's a thing that happened. Besides, the Queen twisted dreams into nightmares with the intention of making the light's heroes suspect and distrust one another. Doesn't trust it. At least that doesn't sound anything like March. ]

pretty sure ozzy's gonna turn up sooner or later.
besides, how are you gonna track the guy down?

[justribbing]

nope, hold up i got it

[ He's just waking up, alright? ]

ozzy got a phone, if he's still got it on him we could pinpoint his general location like we did a few months ago.

right?

That's the plan, but I'm triaging a couple of kids that just arrived so I haven't had a chance yet.

Mental, not physical. Nothing too bad, but I don't want them caught by any of the usual suspects.

[justribbing]

you really gotta soft spot for kids, huh?
good on ya. i'll take a look.
if you don't hear from me i probably don't have an update yet.

[freedom_engineer]

Soft spot for kids, and cleaning up my own messes.

You can laugh at my expense if you feel like checking out the network shenanigans this morning.

[justribbing]

sounds fun, i'll check it out after we figure out where ozzy went.
good luck with home defense, pal.
see ya.
